Gruber authored a 2008 National Bureau of Economic Research working paper with two other professors entitled: “Does Church Attendance Cause People To Vote? Using Blue Laws’ Repeal To Estimate the Effect of Religiosity on Voter Turnout.” “Regular church attendance is strongly associated with a higher probability of voting. It is an open question as to whether this association, which has been confirmed in numerous surveys, is causal,” according to the paper’s abstract.

Hey! This meme about certain people’s stupidity being played in order to pass Obolacare goes farther than just the voters in flyover country. The SCOTUS swallowed it, too.

I’m sure someone has already posted this over the last few days but to me this certainly gives credence to Rush’s “low-information-voter” idea (not that he needed it). Obviously, even the Dem’s believe it.

“MIT professor ...Jonathan Gruber “

1 Corinthians 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

There are actually several things interesting in the study he conducted.

1. Blue law repeal definitely cause decline in church attendance
2. Decline in church attendance cause decline in voter turnout.

I even found the simple list of statewide Blue law repeals and dates interesting.

Table 1: Blue Laws Information and Summary
Panel A: State and Year of Repeal
Florida 1969
Iowa 1955
Indiana 1977
Kansas 1965
Minnesota 1985
North Dakota 1991
Ohio 1973
Pennsylvania 1978
South Carolina 1985
South Dakota 1977
Tennessee 1981
Texas 1985
Utah 1973
Vermont 1982
Virginia 1975
Washington 1966
See text for reasons why various states were not included. Eight other states which never had Blue Laws
are also included in the regressions: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon,
and Wyoming
